by .... Yeah, I think it's about time we made a few.
Jose went over most of the stuff in his post, which I have quoted above.
Some other things that are not necessarily against the rules, but just piss everyone off in general.
One thing that I personally, and I know many other people find EXTREMELY
annoying is TyPiNg LyKe ThIs. No OnE wAnTs To ReAd SoMeThInG lYkE tHiS.

L33t, as well as typing in ALL CAPS or ChAnGiNg CaPs is a general pain to read.
Please don't type in blinding colors. That's not blinding, but you know that I mean.
DON'T TYPE IN RED.
NOT EVEN THIS RED. EVEN MORE SO NOT THIS RED CAUSE NO ONE CAN SEE IT.
Also, don't stretch out the page. If you have a large picture, resize it. If you're going to put a large image, put it in a spoiler.
If you're going to be obnoxious and type in a HUGELONGOVERRUNWORDLIKETHISANDNOTPUTANYSPACESIN, please go away and don't come back. No one wants to read that, or watch that stretch out the entire page.
Drama. We're on the interwebz, people. While we all love you and care about you, we don't want to come into the bar EVERY DAY and have to hear you whining about how much your life sucks. Everyone has their days when they need to be cheered up, but don't whine about it all the time. IT gets stupid and boring. And you could possibly be banned. If you wanna bring drama to the site, do it in the blogs. Don't bring it into the bar or the ramen shop.
If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it. There are beautiful people out there. There are ugly people out there. There are even fugly people out there. Luckily for our eyes, WoTN has VERY many pretty girls and guys. But we all have our own opinions, so if you're gonna say someone's ugly, keep it to yourself. No one wants to hear your opinion.
Maybe this is me running a tangent, but I feel as if these are the basic rules and guidelines of forum posting. Personally. :<

spam. However, there are a few guidelines that we must put in place for
the general wellbeing of our community.
First, if you're going
to talk to a single person, just do it over PMs. Its hard for the other
users to talk around you, and it's just obnoxious. This does not
reference if you and another person are the only ones in a topic, or
quoting used in the Hot Springs.
Second, posting purely for the
point of racking up posts and gaining ranks is unacceptable. We've got
nothing against spam, but don't post things containing only smilies, or
things unrelated to anything.
And finally, don't advertise other
sites here. If you have a personal MySpace page or something, and you
want to put the link in your signature, that's fine. But don't link to
your own forums or something.
Other than that, spam away!
Please also know that only admins type in bold red font.
PLEASE
DONT MAKE ANY TOPICS OF COLOR! It will confuse us kages because we
might use those colors for a certain meaning in the future.
